Center Receives
Program
of Excellence
NASHVILLE - Frontier Health's Victory Center
received a Tennessee Association of Mental Health Organizations'
Program of Excellence Award for 2007. The Program of
Excellence award is given to acknowledge excellence,
quality and the creative and groundbreaking ways behavioral
health services are provided.
Founded in 1989, Frontier Health's Victory
Center provides job readiness, work skills training,
job placement, and ongoing employment support to consumers
in eight counties in Northeast Tennessee.
This past March, the Recovery Education Center opened
as part of the Victory Center service array to make
available the latest methods in the recovery process.
The program serves adults who are diagnosed with serious
and persistent mental illnesses and/or alcohol and/or
drug dependencies.
Victory Center is a positive recovery
environment based on strengths and abilities that empower
the individual to begin their journey of recovery and
to improve their quality of life. The program works
with the individual's entire continuum of care. Victory
Center staff teach classes on WRAP (Wellness Recovery
Action Plan) as a basic tool for recovery.
Victory Center employs the latest
recovery methods within a comprehensive approach to
helping consumers fully integrate into society. "I
have an amazing, creative staff," says Erin McNeese
Chambers, Coordinator of the Recovery Center.
"We all fully believe in recovery and we are here
to encourage and challenge students who often lack hope
that they can lead the life they are capable of leading."
